Twins without their top 2 relievers tonight and the A's had a day off yesterday.

I'm at a casino but just couldn't bet the Twins to win and don't ever bet on a Minnesota team to lose. Had to bet $144 to win $100 on the win.

 

Do you suppose we could stop the back and forth sniping on game threads?

Never been on a sniper hunt...my friends are inviting on one this fall

He’ll be one of the rare talents that could go media or coaching. He’s already more polished than Denard Span 

Yeah, low-key hope to have him as the voice of the Twins in like 10-15 years

Who is this pre-game guy Anthony Recker? 

19 minutes ago, Church of Kreidler said:

Former catcher - played like five games for the Rochester Red Wings when they were our Triple A team

He's of note as being the guy in the Jaime Garcia trade who wound up having the longer tenure with the franchise of the two.  🙃

Can't remember but Detroit, Chicago and Green Bay has lower odds to win that the Vikings. 4th in a division of 4. I'll try to remember to look when I go back downstairs.

PS: I'm at Grand Falls near Sioux City, not smokkey and dingy like some other casinos I have been to.

[Vanimal46]

If the Twins start loading up on Italians, we will know Pablo is the manager in waiting 😉

[wesnewy]

thought buck caught all of that one... 😞

As a former Central-Minnesotan, nothing like Mahnomen! A "smoke free" section that smells just like the rest of the casino...

If the Vikings have good long shot odds to win the division I will send you $20 to place a bet.

Yep, Jackpot Junction is the same way and the rooms smell like stale smoke.

This one is much better smelling. Large non smoking area that is smoke free.

Pablo in the TV booth tonight. It’s been said many times before but he’s gonna be a star in broadcasting after his MLB career. 

Heck, I think he will be successful whatever he does. Baseball or non baseball. He definitely has that ‘it’ factor!

Closer to Sioux Falls than Sioux City (SUX). Likely more Vikings fans in the area so may skew the odds a bit. 

[ashbury]

For one inning, anyway, Jacob Lopez stakes his claim as a Cy Young candidate.

[wesnewy]

These guys are gonna give me a heart attack 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Omg that was almost horrific.

[Vanimal46]

That was so close to a catastrophe. Buxton makes the catch! 

[Church of Kreidler]

Glad they didn't collide! Hell of catch Buck!

[mrmpls]

close call there ,   lucky the boys are okay

[Parfigliano]

Martin just missed Buxton knee

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Would love for Lewis to get on a heater again.

He could have easily tore Buxton’s ACL if they collided. I’ve seen that in the NFL. 

[S Bart]

Who is starting on Saturday?

[SS MagicMark]

Brought back unpleasant memories of that Buxton/Correa collision a couple seasons ago. 

[wesnewy]

Royce tryna chop wood again :(

[Parfigliano]

I will be surprised if Lewis ends year with 700+ OPS.
